The Way to Your Health is Through Your Stomach

Deal Breakers are barriers to
health. One of those Deal Breakers is Gut Health.

While most do not consciously
appropriately feed themselves in a timely and nutritious fashion; most
certainly all who have made poor dietary or tainted dietary choices realize the
true meaning of “deal breaker.”The GI
tract can make or break your day.There
is no going to work, going shopping, taking a test, getting a good night’s
sleep or enjoying a walk in the park when the gut is “off.”

In the same way, there is no hope
for proper hormone function, blood sugar regulation, mental focus, or digestion
and absorption of nutrients when the gut is “off.”So what can tip us off to a primary
gut-related cause of illness?The most obvious
symptom is pain.Others include:
indigestion relieved by antacid use, bloating, irregular bowel habits,
discolored bowel elimination or foul odor, tender abdomen to the touch, queasy
or nauseous feeling, acne or skin blemishes, foggy brain, headaches, joint
pain, swollen feet/ankles/hands…the list goes on. You get the idea.That list is related primarily to gut
dysfunction, hormones, emotional problems, chronic infections and many other
symptoms may occur.

Prior to working on hormone
regulation or joint pain, in the clinic, I will scan for gut problems.Because they are deal breakers by nature,
they will either cause or mimic other illnesses.Treating the cause makes much more sense.How is the gut so intertwined with the
workings of the rest of the body? Science has found the gut has its own nerve
centers that control many reactions that move to other body centers, acting as
its own brain.Science has also found
that the gut makes not only enzymes to break down food, but also hormones that
affect many other nerves to create healthy or unhealthy expressions.Genetics play a role.Some people are poor detoxifiers or digesters
because they are missing a gene or portion of it. We have lab tests available
to determine an individual’s ability to detoxify. Environmental factors play a
role: toxins have been found to permanently trigger a genetic response that
will forever change a person’s digestive health.Sometimes these triggers cannot be turned
off; sometimes the affect can be reduced by drugs or dietary changes.

Tools for evaluation include a
symptom screening form, parasite/bacteria/fungal infection stool panel, toxic
metal urinalysis, examination and complete blood panel.Remember, searching for the cause of pain is
not limited to the area of complaint.A
pain in the elbow may well be related to immune Rheumatoid Arthritis initially
triggered by a bacterial infection in the gut.In this case, treating the elbow will do little-to-no good.After forming an appropriate cleansing
protocol, antimicrobial herbal approach and restoration of normal gut function,
the evaluation is performed again to follow-up.In rare cases a referral for medication to treat a particular gut bug is
warranted.It is imperative that the
steps taken to help correct an imbalance are specifically ordered to take into
account underlying autoimmune disease, anemia, allergies, specific injuries and
personal preference.What’s worse is
some of these bugs can be spread through the family – even the family pets
might be infected.

Choosing the best bug catching test
includes looking for the DNA of the invader.A microscopic exam will often miss the identification of the bad
guy.For example: stretching out the
surface of the intestinal tract would cover a gymnasium floor – if
microscopically speaking, I only looked at 5 or 6 tiles on the entire floor, I
could potentially miss the presence of the invader.This is why I use DNA testing.The DNA tells us the bug is there – or
not.Correcting these gut deal breakers
is short-term.Once the infection is
gone, the person is free to move on to the next step.

Many times the hormonal imbalance,
learning disorders or blood sugar issues disappear when the gut is under
control again.Then no more steps will
be needed, other than supporting a healthy lifestyle.That is as simple as it gets.

Please do not wait to treat
yourself to better health.I have
experienced in practice too many times where debilitation disease processes
could likely have been averted with early intervention and treatment.

Concerned, conscientious parents make choices for their kids
to cut fat, sugar, cholesterol, calories and often end up exposing children to
chemicals.
Sucralose, Sweet n Low, NutraSweet, Truvia, Aspartame,
Sorbitol, are a few sugar replacements that have potential side effects.These non-nutritive sweeteners are derived
from anything from corn to chemicals. Sucralose, which once seemed like a safe
alternative, has gone through 21 processing steps and will create symptoms such
as headaches for some people. Aspartame has been shown to be a neurotoxin,
sorbitol may be a trigger for cancer cells, and Truvia is chemically modified
stevia.Risking chemical burdens that
alter your child’s DNA transcription or liver function does not sound like a
good idea to me.Get these out of your
child’s diet NOW.Go back to using small
amounts of natural sugars. Coconut sugar is a great way to lower the glycemic
index of foods and works well for baking. Try Coconut World’s link: http://www.coconutworld.biz…

Many
people ask how is Applied Kinesiology different? Applied Kinesiology is used in the
chiropractic examination to establish additional information about normal and
abnormal body function accomplished by muscle tests. Kinesiology
defined is, the study of movement as it relates to muscles of the body.Applied means that we apply the information
of body movement to the diagnosis and treatment.Since the original discovery of applied
kinesiology during the 1960s by Dr. George Goodheart, the principle has
broadened to include evaluation of the nervous system, vascular system,
lymphatic system, nutrition, acupuncture and cerebrospinal fluid function. Since
nerves control body functions, including all the major systems, it is essential
that a doctor be able to evaluate the nerves that control the function of the
whole body, ie: the glands, organs, muscles, skin, and other tissues.This information is combined with other
diagnostic physical examination findings to enhance the examination at …

Whether you're busy with work, family or school, eating healthy food is important to maintaining a good energy level. When we eat, consider that our food can be either 'rocket fuel' or kerosene. Both burn. Choose to be the rocket, and use the fuel that is best for the job.
